One Week, On June 18 - 23, boys and girls from the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware will travel to New York City and sing in some of its most historic churches.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for 30 young people, ages 9 to 17 years, who live in the Wilmington area and who attend the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware. While on tour, choristers will stay at the Saint Thomas Choir School and sing at Saint Thomas Fifth Avenue, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity Wall Street and Saint John the Divine.
The cost of the trip is $1,000 per youth ($200 per day). Sponsors are needed so that all students, regardless of income, can participate. Sponsorship covers the cost of room and board, round-trip transportation and sight-seeing.
The Cathedral Choir School nurtures and mentors its students through their most at risk adolescent years and provides them with 10 hours of professional choral training, private piano lessons, peer leadership training, and academic and career mentoring each week during the non-school hours. The Cathedral Choir School has been recognized at the White House as one of the best after-school programs in the nation by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.
The Cathedral Choir School is open to any child regardless of religious affiliation. More than 50% of students live in neighborhoods that are considered high-risk by the Wilmington Criminal Justice Council because of high poverty and low education levels. By recognizing the unique abilities of each student, setting high standards of achievement, and involving families and the community in the training program, the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware shapes the next generation of community leaders through the power of music.
Please consider giving a young person a professional and cultural experience beyond their imagination! We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Dr. Darryl Roland
Artistic Director
